  • Hokey Pokey ice cream. It's a vanilla ice cream with honey comb pieces inside of it. I'm positive that most kiwi kids would answer the same way. A close second is boysenberry ice cream.

  • I don't even remember who made them, but the little single serve cups of chocolate ice cream with the wooden spoon

  • Young coconut ice cream. It's one of those flavors we can easily get from those ice cream carts that stop by the neighborhood usually in the middle of the afternoon. There's also mango and avocado completing the usual three flavors the cart would have, and I would always buy all three flavors available (unless I really hate the flavor).

    Some of the adults would opt to have the ice cream served in a bread bun (usually just repurposed hamburger buns, without the sesame seeds), but I always opted for the sugar cones.

  • Oh, and Snickers ice cream. It conjures up images of vacationing in Holland or Denmark and trying to fish for crabs with a cord and a cracked open clam. For some reason I feel like the clam tastes like the caramel from the Snickers.

  • Lemon in an absolutely tasteless cone. I don't have a specific image in my head except for the ice in one of those factory made cones.

    Plus the song Gelato Al Limon by Paolo Conte. My parents had it on cassette and we would hear it in the car all the time.

  • soft serve or soft ice. back in the country (GDR) where I grew up there was no other ice cream than that.
